Should we share a profile or have 2 separate ones?

Question

Morning,
My husband and I are working together on Real Estate Investing though he is working a full time job and I am spending more time on the direct activities. He listens to the podcasts (he is a podcaster himself) and we discuss the topics covered on the forums etc..                                                                                                                           My question is whether it would be better for us to shared a profile as opposed to him getting a separate one. We could just operate from my profile since we work closely together, but I know he brings a systems and analysis expertise to our business and would like to comment, ask questions and connect with others.  A shared profile seems the most efficient so we do not have redundant work :)
This might have been brought up before. Just thought I would toss it out.

Thanks and Blessings! Carrie

Carrie  Collyer - Your PM abilities were restricted because you were sending the identical message to multiple people.  Please personalize your messages and colleague requests instead of cutting and pasting and the system won't get you for that.  Of course, be sure not to send ads or solicitations via PM or colleague request to others without their permission.

We've released the ban . . . jump back in, but be careful. Thanks.

Hey Carrie  Collyer I'll see what I can find out. Joshua Dorkin will probably know more than me - but it might be a day or so. If it isn't fixed by Monday, let me know. Thanks!

Brandon Turner Joshua Dorkin Hey I seemed to have done something to trigger a "permission error" and now I cannot get or send messages. Been on lockdown here for since Friday morning. I didn't do anything wrong that I know of. Can you help me out? Thanks so much! Carrie

Good point Steve Babiak. So yeah, if he's just gonna read- no worries! But we love interaction :)

Actually, I think it is part of the BP site's terms that users each have their own profile in order to actively post. If one of you (look like it would be the husband in your case) is only reading and browsing, then the BP moderators probably wouldn't notice.

Thanks  for the quick reply Brandon. That helps clarify things. I was just about to read that guide.

Hey Carrie  Collyer- I'd definitely recommend setting up separate ones, as you'll find that BP is a very personal place, so people like to know who exactly they are talking to. For this reason, we only allow one person per profile. However, I'd also recommend that you set up a company profile, and put both of you under it.  For more info on how to do this, check out the guide "Using BP to Grow Your Business"

Hope that helps! Looking forward to interacting with you and your husband in the future! Be sure to have him leave a new member introduction :)
